Frigidaire Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor Parts — Models & Compatibility

If your Frigidaire refrigerator's freezer is too warm while the compressor runs constantly, or you're hearing unusual grinding noises from the back of the freezer compartment, the evaporator fan motor has likely failed. This hub covers the 240369701 replacement motor that fits dozens of Frigidaire, Kenmore, and Electrolux side-by-side and French door models from the mid-2000s through 2015.

Is This the Right Part for Your Model?

Check your refrigerator's model number on the label inside the fresh food section — usually on the left wall near the top, or sometimes on the ceiling. Match it against the compatible models list below. This motor works across the FRS, LGHC, and PHS series, covering both 26 and 28 cubic foot units. If your model starts with FRS3, FRS6, or LGHC2342, you're in the right place.

About This Replacement Part

The evaporator fan motor (part 240369701) circulates cold air from the evaporator coils throughout both compartments. When it fails, you'll notice the fridge too warm even though the freezer might still work — or both sections running warmer than they should. The compressor keeps running because it never reaches temperature. Some owners report loud grinding or squealing before complete failure. This is a direct replacement for original Frigidaire part numbers 5304445861 and 241537301, and it replaces the older AP4700070 superseded design. Installation requires removing the freezer's back panel to access the fan assembly mounted on the evaporator housing.

Common Symptoms That Point to This Part

• Freezer section too warm — Ice cream stays soft, ice maker slows down
• Fridge and freezer both too warm — No cold air circulation between compartments
• Noisy operation — Grinding, squealing, or humming from inside freezer
• Won't start — Fan doesn't spin when you open the door (listen closely)
• Compressor runs constantly — Never cycles off because temps don't drop

What Owners Say After Replacing It

"The Evap. motor you sent me was the exact part I needed, simple easy instructions. Great fit. Thank you." That's typical feedback — this motor's a straightforward swap once you get the freezer panel off. Most people complete the job in 30-45 minutes.
